Players from all over the Sydney North Shore region were selected into the program through talent identification at CCSNS programs and initiatives since their launch in September 2017. The players were then put through their paces on Day 1 via a series of Skills Tests. The players also received an overview of the season long program and of course, picked up their COERVER playing kit thanks to our Global Partner adidas. Most importantly, a ton of fun was had by all as the excitement and energy of what these players were embarking on become apparent.

Dimitrij Blazeski of Coerver Coaching Stirling Bayswater, Western Australia, has been accepted into the SL Benfica/Coerver Coaching Elite International Development Program for April 2018.
